Reviews

This volume is destined to become an instant classic on corruption and informal practices in the MENA region. Leading authorities shed light on lies beyond the shadows. -- Robert Looney, Distinguished Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, USA. In this innovative collection, a new generation of scholarship finds a way of disaggregating the umbrella term of 'corruption' for the purposes of precision in study and policy-making in the Middle East and Northern Africa. They focus on the sensitive issues as to whether, and at which point informal practices, widely adopted and often associated with culture, actually turn into corruption. The book sheds light on why some anti-corruption strategies have worked and others have not, and explores the potential of empowering women and facilitating the use of personal networks, thus integrating 'what works' into the anti-corruption policy implementation and offering context-sensitive solutions to the persistent issues in the region. -- Alena Ledeneva, Founder of the Global Informality Project, Professor of Politics and Society, UCL, United Kingdom
